Description
The famous Austrian-American Benedictine monk David Steindl-Rast explores the relationship between prayer and gratitude in his contemplative book, which flows from the human capacity to love. He discovers the beauty hidden in everyday life. He believes that if we celebrate things simply because they are, we live life in its fullness. According to him, surprise is the way to become aware of the value of life. Fear signifies the condition of courage. The key to life is the balance between giving and receiving, where we can give by letting go of something, expressing gratitude, or forgiving. Joy is not the result of our success, but of our gratitude – if we are grateful for what we have, we find deep and lasting joy. According to the author, we also discover the meaning of life through gratitude. The author, who believes that part of contemplation is active participation in life with love and gratitude, connects spiritual thoughts with everyday experiences that each of us can gain in his book.
